This easy pesto can be made with pretty much any nut. Pine nuts are nice, but very expensive. I make this with walnuts or pepitas most often. It's great as a dip, on a sandwich, spooned into a soup or drizzled over cut tomatoes. I also like it on roasted vegetables and of course, the obvious - pasta!
